(Physics) the angle that a magnetic needle makes with the plane of the horizon.
1Each day, now, Webb took an approximate magnetic dip and declination in the lee of the break-wind.
2I attempted to determine the magnetic dip and intensity, but was prevented by a heavy storm of rain.
3The magnetic dip is always measured in this work, according to the centesimal division, if the contrary be not expressly mentioned.
4It can be seen from the world map that the magnetic dip (shown as a heavy line) is very different to the geographic equator.
5I found the magnetic dip 25.25 degrees (cent div), showing that it had increased considerably from the fort of San Carlos.
